Seng_Kiat, the DPI does not matter.

Also, try to get a more isolated grass shot - I don't know what you're aiming at in those pictures.

seng kiat, here is what I learn about shooting at slow shutter speed

when you press the shutter release, you are pressing down making the camera shake. Even with SSS, the camera still shake and would not be able to compensate so much. When you release the shutter, the camera also shake.

How nice if you can be in between the start of pressing and the end of releasing

Yes.... use continuous shot (also known as burst). Set your camera to continuous shot and shoot around 7-9 shots. One of it may come out sharp as while your hand is still pressing, the camera is in steady mode. Oh, if can, try to HOLD YOUR BREATH

For slow shutter speed, I just press the shutter button and never release it until the camera completed the exposure. This can minimize the shake. Ways to reduce shake are stop breathing , hold the camera real close to your body / face or lean against something static (this one works every time).

Hope these help.

1680, 16105 and 1750 are kit lens replacement while 50mm is totally in different league.. if u want a prime, then get the 50mm la.. if u want a kit lens replacement, then u need to know what u need, basically 1680 for the CZ quality, 16105 for the range and 1750 for the f/2.8.. there are other qualities that u need to consider too.. read reviews on all lenses, then go to shop, try molest2 those lenses first.. then only u decide.. so the most important thing to get the ball rolling is to know what u need, not what u want..

or u can follow what bro marushin once told me:

Attached thumbnail(s)

here is another way to steady your camera
before you pull your shutter release using your right hand, pull the strap down on the left side using your left hand. Hold the camera on your right by pushing it up, so that you counter your left.

So left down, right up... balance
Then set to 2 secs timer and wait...

need to practice to make it perfect

gND or CPL will settle your problem.

my noob comment...1st and 2nd pix seems funny...1st one like foggy,the 2nd one looks like got flash from below...3rd,4th nice droplets pix...if u could focus only to either one droplet should be better....same to the 5th pix also...

erm, are you replying my post?

if yes, object darken at sunlight condition is due to my hand shking issue during pressing on shutter
